Start Your Career Here

Hong Kong is a global business centre that connects China with rest of the world. According to the statistical data by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the number of mainland companies listed in Hong Kong has bypassed that of Hong Kong companies. Also more and more multi-national companies use Hong Kong as a spring board to invest in China. This creates a great demand for people to analyze the values of the technology ventures and to manage them effectively.

香港是一個連接中國與世界其他國家的國際商業中心。根據香港交易所的統計數據,國企的數目及成交額已經超越香港上市公司的總和。越來越多的跨國企業也在香港設立總部,並通過香港投資中國。因此香港對技術企業分析與管理的專才需求不斷增長。
